23 beach street is actually one of those homes that look so comfortale you never want to leave, even though the inhabitant can be a tad bit on the scary side. because she makes so much money off of her own photography, gloria mendez, or as people know her, gopi, has a home-sweet-home sort of home. it is an all white house with dark blue shudders, a manicured lawn, a picket fence, and a big red door. it is two floors, a balcony wrapping around the entire first floor. the place is spacious and looks like the perfect place to lay back, feel the warm breeze and just read a book. it has an old southern feel to it, despite its being on the west coast.
